Replacing Missing Teeth
The bite can also change, which can increase your risk of dental decay due to difficulties in cleaning well. Jaws can become sore and gums can also become inflamed. We offer a variety of options to help restore your smile and improve your chewing capacity by replacing a missing tooth or teeth.
Braces or Invisalign
Orthodontic repositioning of teeth with Invisalign or braces could be utilised to close the space, depending on the size.
Implants
Dental implants are the closest tooth replacement option to natural teeth, and are considered the ‘gold standard’ in a single tooth replacement case. The implant is an artificial “root” (made of titanium) usually placed in the jaw bone by a specialist. Once it has healed or ‘integrated’ into the bone, a tooth-coloured crown can be placed over the implant. The technology behind implants has come along way and if maintained well, they can last a long time. It can be an aesthetically pleasing and no-fuss way to replace a single tooth or multiple teeth. It can be easier to clean than other replacement options. More >
Bridges
This involves replacing a missing tooth/teeth by anchorage on one or more neighbouring teeth. Crowns are placed on the neighbouring teeth which support a fake tooth/teeth in the gap. This can be made from porcelain and/or metal. This procedure usually requires 2 sessions: the first to prepare the teeth and place a temporary bridge; the 2nd to cement the permanent bridge with a strong dental adhesive. More>
Dentures
These are removable appliances and the most cost-effective way of replacing a missing tooth or teeth. The framework can be made in metal alloy or acrylic. Partial dentures are available where the prosthesis clasps onto neighbouring teeth. Full dentures are made for people with no teeth in a dental arch. They should not be worn when sleeping. Meticulous denture hygiene and oral hygiene is important to reduce dental decay and gum disease as much as possible. More>
All our prostheses (except for Invisalign) are made in laboratories in Australia.
